Husband completely shutting me out

[Pinkandblue82]

Hi

i saw a msg from a happy ending massage girl on my husbands phone and he has not said a word to me since, he not coming to bed or anytging

unfortunatley it’s not the first time something like this has happened, but the msg obviously means they have been seeing each other for a while because it was quite personal

im Devestated

I just want to sleep and never wake up

we have had many many rough patches and over last few weeks have noticed him pulling away and I know he is no longer attracted to me, when we go out he doesn’t look at me only other women

we have been together 19 years, worst part is I just want him to hold me - that’s how screwed up I am emotionally

i have been told before he is a narcissist so I guess I have been groomed to feel this way

sorry for blubber but I am completely alone hiding away crying to hide it from my kids

Hey Pinkandblue82.

I am very sorry for your situation, especially in these tough times. Please look after yourself and seek support for yourself and take care of you. Yes, he maybe a Narc, I cannot confirm, however, he is being selfish and not looking after you. Very poor behavior. Please seek support and tell yourself everyday that you deserve love and that you are a good person. Please stay strong and brave.
